Our Week In The Web: May 30, 2015

We did it again. We changed topics at the very last minute. (In case you've missed previous consideration of this very concern, there seems to be a lot of anger and confusion out there about our promo text and forward-looking on-air discussion of coming shows, when said shows suddenly become something different the day of a broadcast). But when news as stunning as this Wednesday's early-morning FIFA arrests breaks, we can't help but jump on the story. And we did, and we moved our originally scheduled hour at that time to the next day. And you know what? Nobody said anything. What gives? We imagine that you, like our staff, were pretty intrigued by the remarkable FIFA story, but the conspiracy theories peddled in our comment section the last time this happened (thanks to a delayed flight, naturally) didn't pop up this time. This helps us figure how to handle these changes in the future, but we'll be honest here: you people are confusing. (Feel like sharing your thoughts on this matter? Let us know in the comments below, or on Facebook, Tumblr and @OnPointRadio.)
